Hiro,
View - Select Display Colors - Staff Style Bars. Pick any color you like. I use a pale gray (barely visible). Or you can turn them off entirely: Staff Tool - Staff Menu - uncheck "Show Staff Styles."
Personally, I like my gray bars, though -- visible enough to tell you they're there without being distracting.
Coda's default colors are horrible all around. They really ought to do something about that -- it really makes the program look unappealing, especially to newbies. How hard would it be to get someone with some design sense to spend an hour picking more attractive and functional colors?
Darcy,
It's hard for me to know what colors would work well, but I do feel that the defaults are too intense and distracting. Yet some differentiation of objects (placed by what tool, for instance) and layers is necessary. I find that my sense of the size and spacing of objects is affected by the intensity of the color, and I never know how things will appear until looking at a print preview.

How exactly are you hiding layer 4? When I press letter O in speedy
entry to hide an item in layer 4, the chord symbol attached to it stays
visible. I am in FinMac 2005a.
That's what I had been doing last 17 years till I got the tip to do stuff
wide last week. It is tedious to hit 'o' piece wide :-(
I didn't realize the suggestion was to use the stuff style but imagined
to use Document Option, Hide Layer instead. I was aware of Blank
Notation option but didn't want to use it unless if there is a way to
hide that shaded object and the ugly blue line over stuff specifically
only to layer 4?
To recap, my objectivity is to have chord attached to beat instead of note.
